Emma Pickering

Our new treasurer Emma Pickering comes from a family of Military people. Her Grandfather is a Vietnam Veteran, Great Grandfather and uncles World War II veterans in the Army and Airforce and her great great Grandfather was a veteran of World War I.

Emma is a loans officer and is excited to expand her knowledge by becoming Treasurer of AFOM.

"I have grown up with some knowledge of what happens in families where a veteran has been affected by war" Emma says.

"The people in AFOM are like a Community who are helping people all over Australia, and there are plenty of Australian Military Families who need help and assistance" Emma says. "I am happy that they have added 'and Support' to our name. It represents a lot of what our members do.

I believe in the importance of supporting not only the veteran, serving or ex-serving member but their family members and this support needs to involve evidence based research.

I support the aims and objectives of AFOM and am very honoured to be part of this Foundation"
